1 Kings 1:1-31
1 And King David was old, going into days. And they covered him with garments, for he had no heat. 2 And his servants said to him, Let them seek out a young woman for my master the king, a virgin, and she shall stand before the king, and be a nurse to him, and lie in your bosom, and my master the king shall have heat. 3 And they sought out a beautiful young woman in all the border of Israel. And they found Abishag the Shunammite, and brought her in to the king. 4 And the young woman was exceedingly beautiful, and she was a nurse to the king and served him. But the king did not know her. 5 And Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, I will reign. And he prepared a chariot for himself, and horsemen, and fifty men running before his face. 6 And his father had not troubled him all his days, saying, Why have you done so? And he also was very good of form, and one had borne him after Absalom. 7 And his words were with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest. And they helped, going after Adonijah. 8 But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men who were to David, were not with Adonijah. 9 And Adonijah sacrificed sheep and oxen and fatlings near the Stone of Serpents which is near En-Rogel. And he called all his brothers, the sons of the king, and all the men of Judah, the servants of the king. 10 But he did not call Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and his brother Solomon. 11 And Nathan spoke to Bathsheba, the mother of Solomon, saying, Have you not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith reigns, and our master David does not know? 12 And now, come, please let me counsel you with counsel, and save your life, and the life of your son Solomon. 13 Go up and go in to King David. And you shall say to him, My master, O king, have you not sworn to your handmaid, saying, Surely your son Solomon shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne? And why does Adonijah reign? 14 Behold, while you are speaking with the king, then I will come in after you and will confirm your words. 15 And Bathsheba came in to the king, to the inner room. And the king was old, and Abishag the Shunammite was serving the king. 16 And Bathsheba bowed and knelt before the king. And the king said, What shall I do for you? 17 And she said to him, My master, you have sworn to your handmaid by YAHUVEH your ELOHIM, saying, Surely your son Solomon shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne. 18 And now, behold, Adonijah reigns. And now, my master O king, you have not known. 19 And he sacrifices oxen, and fatlings, and sheep in abundance, and has called all the king’s sons, and Abiathar the priest and Joab the commander of the army. But he has not called to your servant Solomon. 20 And you, my master O king, the eyes of Israel are on you, to tell them who shall sit on the throne of my master the king after him. 21 And it will be, when my master the king lies with his fathers, my son Solomon and I, shall be offenders. 22 And, behold, she was speaking with the king, and Nathan the prophet came in. 23 And they told the king, saying, Behold, Nathan the prophet! And he came in before the king and bowed to the king, his nose to the earth. 24 And Nathan said, My master O king, have you said, Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne? 25 For he has gone down today and sacrificed oxen, and fatlings, and sheep in abundance, and has called all the king’s sons, and the army commanders, and Abiathar the priest. And behold, they are eating and drinking before him, and they are saying, Let King Adonijah live! 26 But as for me, I, your servant, and for Zadok the priest, and for Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and for your servant Solomon, he has not called. 27 If this thing is to come about from my master the king, then you have not caused your servant to know who shall sit on the throne of my master the king after him. 28 And King David replied and said, Call Bathsheba for me. And she came in before the king, and stood before the king. 29 And the king swore and said, As YAHUVEH lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all distress, 30 surely as I swore to you by YAHUVEH, the ELOHIM of Israel, saying, Surely your son Solomon shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my place; surely so I will do this day. 31 And Bathsheba bowed her face to the earth, even bowing to the king, and said, Let my master King David live forever. *~ John Chapter 4 ~*
3 He left Judea and went away into Galilee again. 4 And it was needful for Him to pass through Samaria. 5 And He came to a Samaritan city called Sychar, near the piece of land Jacob gave to his son Joseph. 6 And there was there a spring of water that had belonged to Jacob, and YAHUSHUA was tired from the fatigue of the journey. And He sat on the well, and it was the sixth hour. 7 A woman came out of Samaria to draw water. YAHUSHUA said to her, Give Me some to drink. 8 For His disciples had gone away into the city that they might buy provisions. 9 Then the Samaritan woman said to Him, How do You, being a Jew, ask to drink from me, I being a Samaritan woman? For Jews do not have social dealings with Samaritans. 10 YAHUSHUA answered and said to her, If you knew the gift of YAHUVEH, and who is the One saying to you, Give Me to drink, you would have asked Him, and He would give you living water. 11 The woman said to Him, Sir, You have no bucket, and the well is deep. From where then do You have living water? 12 Are You greater than our father Jacob who gave us the well, and he and his sons and his sheep drank out of it? 13 YAHUSHUA answered and said to her, Everyone drinking of this water will thirst again; 14 But everyone who drinks from the waters that I give to him will not thirst forever. But those waters that I give to him will become in him a spring of water that will spring up into life that is eternal.cing all his brothers.
